Excerpt from Baby's Rights We are inclined to get hold of some time-honored idea, and cling to it loyally and blindly, 'without subjecting it.to the close scrutiny we give to other things. One such idea is that any one may law fully marry and become a parent with out Special training for that office. For any important calling in the business or professional world, we demand that those wishing to enter must qualify. It requires years of hard study as well as natural ability to become a teacher, a doctor, or a lawyer. Even those who presume to fit our clothing to our bodies must be skilfully trained in the art; but who dares to stand up and say that men and women should qualify for parent hood? A boy may loaf through school and Spend his early manhood days on the street corners, and be much moreconversant with the rules of the p001 room than with the ethics of manhood and the laws of heredity; yet not a single voice will be raised against that man marrying and propagating himself. He may, in Spite of his unnatural life, have a handsome face and pleasing manner Which will take the fan'cy of some inno cent girl;. And she, all ignorant of the fact that it is quite as true physically as Spiritually that what a man sows that will he also reap - marries him and runs the serious risk of becoming the mother of physically weak and morally deficient children. A knowledge of heredity and maternal impressions might have helped her to overcome deficiencies on the father's side; but of these She was ignorant.
